Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

thornton-70038 A must watch for true humans! So, it is definitely NOT for MRA's and misogynists.

jonathanruano After watching Siskel and Ebert's Women in Danger series, I was intrigued by how bad some of these movies exploiting women in danger were. "I spit on your grave" was worse than I can ever imagine. I am not voting on this movie, because even 1/10 is too high. "I spit on your grave" does not have an original plot. In fact, writer-director Meir Zarchi ripped off the plot of Igmar Bergman's "Virgin Spring" and then made some alterations. However, it would be incorrect to assume that "I spit on your grave" deserves to be in the same league as "Virgin Spring." To be sure, "Virgin Spring" has a scene where the innocent Swedish girl Karin is raped and murdered and a scene where her father (played brilliantly by Max von Sydow) exacts a brutal revenge against the rapists. Rape and revenge, therefore, are common themes in both films. Yet Bergman's filmmaking does not linger over the rape scene. Moreover, "Virgin Spring" has yet another scene where the woman, who is meant to protect Karin, is wracked with guilt and despair over doing nothing to stop the attackers and worse still secretly wanting Karin to be raped. She confides her sins to Karin's father and tells him who raped and murdered his daughter in a truly powerful scene.With "I spit on your grave," we get the exact opposite of Igmar Bergman's elegant film. Unlike "Virgin Spring," "I spit on your grave" focuses and exploits one element of the plot: the rape itself. Some of the reviewers here estimated that as much as 40 minutes were devoted to showing a woman being raped multiple times. In addition, there are scenes encouraging the audience members to look forward to the girl's rape before it starts. What Meir Zarchi and the others connected to this travesty of filmmaking do not seem to understand is that libidos are aroused by consensual sex. That's what makes the Emmanuelle movies appealing and the same could be said for Lina Wertmueller's Swept Away where the young lady turns out to like being dominated and having sex with a dirty sailor. Yet Meir Zarchi does not have nearly as much class as the directors of the Emmanuelle films. He seems to have embraced the logic that rape is sexy and that most audience members relish the opportunity of spending more than an hour watching a young woman being violated. There is also another major difference between "I spit on your grave" and "Virgin Spring." As mentioned earlier, "Virgin Spring" is primarily a film about the human condition. We see Karin's mother worry over her daughter's long absence. We see another woman blaming herself for Karin's rape and death. We see Karin's father with visible signs of anguish on his face. We then see a moving funeral scene where the family tries to move on after burying their young child. The "Virgin Spring" is really a film about intelligent human beings experiencing complex emotions as a result of going through adversity. By contrast, "I spit on your grave," is devoid of any of this humanity. Meir Zarchi did not allocate more than an hour to the foreplay scenes and then the rape by accident. He clearly wanted the film to be about those things. Moreover, he made a conscious decision to leave out the human dimension even of the rape victim herself. We get no real insights into what the rape victim feels inside, because the director is more interested in hyping the concept of the rape itself than creating any sympathetic characters. Then toward the end, Meir Zarchi does something cynical: he films very briefly the rape victim's revenge against the rapists. This was done deliberately so that Zarchi could claim that he was not using rape as a form of entertainment at all. Yet I was not fooled by this cynical hedge for a second and neither should you. 0/10

scarlett-greene This film is critical for the basic human rights in which should belong to the integrity of women. This film is not in reference to militant feminism; it is about a person's right to live upon this planet without risk that s/he will be attacked. Most men will believe that this is a film for feminists (hasten to add there is a difference between militant and feminist) their opinion would be inaccurate. So imagine yourself to be gang raped, buggered up the bottom, raped by implements, left to die whilst your attackers live normal lives. Therefore men this is a film in respect of one's human decency towards others on this planet. Camille Keaton is a brave young lady to act in such a depraved role. I would love to see rape and the consequences of this action be taken seriously in the court of law. Regardless of gender I do not believe people believe this is a serious crime and her impacts on the person. I hope one day we will understand that a rapist will not change and will continue to vent his or her anger until s/he is caught. I do not justify vigilantes however if the courts will not prosecute these perpetrators on lack of evidence, intellectual wording then as a society of increasing moral failings I ask thee this: ''Your child/wife/husband or even yourself is raped what will you do?''

a_baron This over the top and now quite infamous film can be read on many levels. An attractive young single woman from New York retreats to the country to write a novel where she is subjected to multiple rapes by a group of locals. Wisely they decide she must not live to tell the tale, but leave the murder to the simpleton of the group; he chickens out, telling them he has killed her, and then after taking some time to clean herself up and gather her senses, she sets about exacting a terrible revenge."I Spit On Your Grave" was reviled by the feminist movement – then in its second wave – on release. But is this a film that degrades women, or men, or us as a species? Is it an attempt to justify revenge; a warning to men that if you commit rape, this could happen to you; or perhaps a warning that if you do commit heinous crimes it is best not to leave any witnesses?The country hicks in this film were not particularly bright, but neither is whatever message it carries. Yes, mass murder is not the answer to rape, even if revenge is a dish that is best served cold. Better a world in which there is no revenge because there is nothing to avenge. Would that be a much duller world? Hardly. Alas, today's film-makers clearly remain unconvinced.
